Burwash

CONGRATULATIONS: A huge pat on the back for everyone involved in the 24 hour netballathon last Friday/Saturday. What an amazing event this was. The weather was perfect for those who played or visited, from the those on car parking duties, stall holders and players. There were an amazing array of cakes, a fantastic raffle and young and not so young playing the game. Some of the players who stayed all night didn't sleep for almost 48 hours, that takes some doing, well done to them. The weekend was such a great success that over £5,000 was raised for the Kent, Sussex and Surrey Air Ambulance and the Etchingham Barn Owls Pre-school and was held in memory of Emma Beeney, who died after an accident in the village last year. Her husband Rob and her parents were quite involved with the event too. With the Just Giving page still open and the Silent Auction on line, both closing on July 15, the total raised is going to be much higher. Our hearty congratulations to the organisers and all who were involved.
